~. Il. Willis and Miss Canda-

Willis was a handsome man, and got
his reputation for frivO.ity by his fondness
for society, and from the fact that he was
always in love to the day of his death To
this circumstance was due many of his
best poems, notably tho one beginning:
lis midnight deep. came but now
From the close air of lighted halls.
Perhaps one of the sweetest love poems in
the language. 1t occurred in this way:
Willis WAS at "A large party I'm West Wash
ington place, where he met Miss Char
lotte Canda, n beautiful and very accom-
plished girl, after whose father the Canda
house in Lafayette place, then her resi-
dence, was named He had met her often
before, and this time their Irritation be-
came very serious They kept early hours
in those days, and Willis left before mid
night, Miss Canda soon after She
was sitting in the carriage waiting for her
father, and il never was known how the
thing occurred, but it was supposed that,
the coachman, leaving his horses for mo-
ment, they ran, and the lovely girl was
thrown or jumped from the carriage on
the corner Of broadway and Washington
place. She struck her head and was car
ried insensible into the New York hotel,
where she died in half an hour While
she was dying Willis was In his room,
and, n ne afterward told me, writing this
POEM and declared that, had she lived,
she would have been his wife. He was
devoteily attached to his mother, and al
together a very lovable man, and yet,
strange to say, he never got along with
his sister, Fanny Fern, nor she with him,
a circumstance which I attribute to the
fact that, as ungallant as IL may be to say
IL, Fanny was what may emphatically be
called ''nipper. -. w. Watson in

Txxo Eifrh Axenue Girls.

Do you suppose that Fifth avenue girls
are always as staid as sticks? No, no.
A little old man, ugly a specimen of
the human race as ever assisted in dis
figuring the earth, was going down that
thoroughfare bending nearly double under
the weight of n big basket of pigs heads,
which he carried on one shoulder. The
rain was pouring and the sidewalks were
wet He slipped, and, in his effort to
keep his footing, one of the heads fell
to the pavement He stood looking ut it
in woeful predicament, and, although he
knew he could not stOop over far enough
to reach it without losing his balance, he
made several Intellectual attempts. The
street was full of hurrying people who
jostled him on both sides, but nobody paid
any attention to him, except that occasion
ally some one looked with an amused
smile at his dilemma Presently along
came two pretty young girls, neatly
dressed in black cloth newmarkets, with
black boas and muffs, and regulation tall
hats ''Oh, see therer' said one, and
before the old man knew what had
happened there was a faint Whit of per
fume in the air, and a pretty girl with
dainty handkerchief protecting her
gloves, had lifted the pigs head and with
the help IF another pretty girl was putting
it in the basket. But some of the piggy 5

stood motionlcss n caryatid, and the
girls, with flushing faces and occasional
laughter, tiptoed and worked and strug-
gled with that refractory head, which,
however they fixed it, would slide right
OF again The passing people began to
stop and in ten seconds a big crowd was
watching the operation, when after the
manner of his actions in life, piggy's pate
suddenly became docile and lay perfectly
quiet in the exact place where they had
tried half a dozen times to make it stay
As the old man moved off with his burden
resting quietly On his shoulder, cheer
from a bootblack was echoed in an
approving murmur from the crowd as it
went on its way again, casting admiring

LoweIT's Address at Chicago.

Not that he spoke i'll. On the contrary,
il was genuine delight to listen to him
lie dill not ''tlOoty'' us; he did not mis-
take the chimney SCOT for the suitable in
other things; he was not ''lit'ry," and
what he gave us WAS not ''litratoor." He
did not drop the final gs nor add an to
his idea OF thinking-a self restraint in a
Bostonian for which we are very grateful
IL is very sweet to our ears, moreover, to
iinsl that lie had not acquired cockneyisms
nor other barbarities of English manners
during the period when he imbibed more
or less of English odiousness in politics.
But il was painfully apparent that either
he spoke with singular indifference for a
man to whom accuracy of enunciation
should be an invulnerable habit, or with
self contradictorineSs indicating a defiance
of orthocpic principles. For instance, he
habituaIIy said ''natchah'' for nature, and
so on through the words ending in ure.
He said ''tempist" for tempest, and so on
through the words ending in est. He
generally said ''munt'' for the final
''ment," and ''ist'' for the terminal est I"
lie was IA little inclined to recognize an
between two vOwels, or following a vowel
and preceding another consOnant, as is
Mr. Cleveland to recognize a true blue
Democrat when he finds an excuse in the
civil service rules for not doing so.
In lieu of simple tears in one syllable he
gave us afternoon ''teahs'' in two syllables;
and Shakespeare himself came out anon
with u final ''ah." He did not lutte us
with his late, but he did 'loon" us with
his lunacy; and although he sounded his
u correctly in Illusion, why should he
have played loo with us when he became
ludicrous? Shall he disavow for himself
the trade he regretted Wordsworth had
too much despised, ''the trade in classic
nicetiesS'' and are not these two words, so
widely different in usual significance, from
the same root9 Why, again, should he
talk to us about patriotism, giving the a
of the Latin root probably the true ancient
sound, and then speak of ''Socratease,"
anglieizing his Creek 1t may seem petty
thus to scan Mr.. Lowell's spoken English
'micrologically." But it must be remem-
bered that it is one of the methods by
which we must arrive at a correct pro-
nunciation of our language, if such thing
be.-Chicago Cor. New York Sun.

dare not lend his money to the man

To keep the body in fair exercise
and the mind active and cheerful.
To maintain an interest in what is

part in reasonable labors and pleas
ures, as though old age were not
present.
To take plenty Of sleep during
sleeping hours. To spend nine hours
in the bed at least, andIto take care
during cold weather that the tenn
perature of the bedroom is maintain
ed at 800 Fahrenheit.
